Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong support of my bipartisan bill, H.R. 2478, the Financial Exploitation Prevention Act. Far too often, back home in Missouri and across this Nation, our senior citizens are directly targeted for financial fraud. Like Chairman Hill, I, too, hear from scores and scores of constituents in my district who have fallen prey to these horrible, horrible scams and fraudsters. The consequences of this crime extend to millions of Americans, with one out of every five senior investors falling victim to financial fraud and exploitation.
